I love to make my own “green products” as they work well and are eco-friendly to me, my pets, and my family, friends and patients. So here is a way to repel flies.
- Keep your rubbish containers tightly covered when not in use
- Install screen doors that open outward so flies are not pulled into the house each time the door is used.
- Wind fans that blow air outward help to keep flies from entering through the window/
- Keep fly swatters handy….aim 4 cm(1.5 inches) from the flies back…flies jump up and backward when they fly off.
- Put out bowls of fresh orange and lemon peels mixed with dried whole cloves.
- Using an aromatherapy diffuser or cotton balls placed around the room, mix or use separately the essential oils of lavender, cedar or eucalyptus.
